2020-12-16 -Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Churches across the US commit to paying millions in racism-linked reparations in bid to 'reckon with the wrongs and evils of our past'
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] I don't have anything against them paying. Feel free.

#5 Self hatred is a sign of advanced civilizational decay.

Like Russian aristocrats embracing anarchism, Roman families adopting Christianity, the French in 1940 who hated each other more than they feared or opposed the Wehrmacht etc

#6 The current trend of preaching so-called 'institutional racism' is not a myth or new-found trend. It has been the basis of 'liberation theology' and the engine of 'reckoning' for quite some time. There need be no denominational attribute, identity politics and perceived victimhood are the only necessary ingredients.

#9 Any questions about the decreasing church populations?

Organized religion is nothing more than another SJW haven.

#11 Use the reparation money to ship the ones asking for it back to Africa. Build them a nice commune there and piss off as fast as ye can.

Repatriation - Not Extortionpropriation

#13 I have no problem with churches voluntarily doing this, it may turn out to hurt them, or it might pull in more worshipers. I couldn't say.

I just hope they spend the money in their local black communities instead of just sending a check to BLM or Jessie Jackson.

#15 It's the beginning of imposition of a sort of jiziya tax on all whites. Every opinionated black power celebrity you can think of, from comedians to rappers to actors seems to be a closet sunni anyway.

People should just stop supporting churches if this sort of thing keeps up. Soon they will be guilting you like 'are you going to pay for the sins of your fathers'?' It's also how the minority sunnis in shia, yezidi, hindu, sikh, buddhist dominated regions gain leverage and gradually try to take over.

#17 #15 People have been stopping support for the "mainline" churches for years. All of them peaked in 1965 and have lost 2/3 to 3/4 of their members since then. This is a dying gasp of irrelevant organizations.

Note no mention of more conservative and Biblical denominations--Anglican Church of North America, Presbyterian Church in America, etc. in the article. We do have better sense.

#19 Some major denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, have not embraced reparations as official policy.

#20 A genius imagined oppression
To justify every transgression.
The madder he got,
[shot of cannibal pot]
The more prejudice fed on his passion.

#21 Rev Jesse Jackson and Rev Jeremiah White have had their congregants doing this for ages.
